THE Stair Park striker reckons hi team mates have to keep things tight if they are to replicate their Boxing Day heroics from Ibrox.

MARTIN GREHAN has told his Stranraer team-mates every one of them must be on top of their game if they want to get something from Rangers tonight.

The striker, fresh from netting a hat-trick at Brechin at the weekend, is taking heart from the fact the Blues held the champions-elect at Ibrox last time the sides met.

Grehan
said: “Rangers are a full-time side so it’s a bonus if we can get something against them. We have to be positive from the start and try to
frustrate them.

“The longer we keep it tight the better. We did that at Ibrox on Boxing Day. We played well in the second half and got our just rewards at the end when Jamie Longworth scored with the last kick of the ball.

“They
have to be way off the top of their games and we can’t afford to be carrying two or three players as against Rangers you will get punished.

“We
need to have great performances from everyone. And we need them not to be at their best. They have class players in their team so you need more than a bit of luck.”

But the 29-year-old is also encouraged by Stranraer’s fine record at Stair Park.

Grehan said: “If we take Saturday’s display into this game we have a chance.

“And we have a good record at home so I wouldn’t underestimate us.”

Stranraer and Grehan couldn’t be in better form going into the game after the 3-1 win at Glebe park.

He added: “It was a great result at Brechin on Saturday.

“We got the three points and to score the goals myself was an extra bonus.”
